Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how many applications for the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme have been refused.
To be eligible for the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme an employer must have furloughed employees for a minimum of 3 weeks, have a PAYE scheme registered on HMRC’s real time information system for PAYE on 19 March 2020, be enrolled for PAYE online and have a UK bank account. If an employer is eligible a claim will be accepted.
